Any ATI Radeon All in Wonder video card will have Win-98 drivers and
will perform video capture.
If you have a video camera or cam-corder that has fire-wire, you might
be able to feed a video signal into the video-in of the camera and
send the video stream to a PC in real time via the fire-wire
interface.

Philips' datasheet for the SAA7134 chip ...
http://www.nxp.com/acrobat/datasheets/SAA7134HL_4.pdf
http://www.nxp.com/pip/SAA7134HL_V1.html
... states that "Windows 98 Device access is contained with a
kernel-mode Windows Driver Model (WDM) driver. The capture
driver interface is also kernel-mode WDM". It goes on to say that "the
[Win ME/2K/XP] driver is binary-compatible with the Windows 98
driver".

You may be able to identify the card's manufacturer by its FCC ID:
https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm
Otherwise, if it is a PCI card, then search for its Vendor and Device
IDs at the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\PCI
Post back here, or use PCItree to identify your device:
http://www.pcitree.de/
Otherwise here is a possible generic driver:

Thank you for this information. Unfortunately, I have already
returned the card for refund, and am now looking for another type that I
can install without such complications. I don't think it even had an FCC
ID number on it.
